Scotland’s Life Sciences Conference & Awards 2025: Uniting industry leaders to shape the future
Taking place on 13 March 2025, in Glasgow, this must-attend event will precede the renowned Scotland’s Life Sciences Awards Dinner, offering an unparalleled opportunity to connect, collaborate, and gain critical insights from the sector’s top minds.
For the first time ever, Scotland’s life sciences community will come together for a half-day of high-impact discussions, strategic networking, and expert-led panels – all designed to equip businesses, investors, academia, and researchers with the knowledge and connections to thrive in an evolving landscape.
With over 44,200 jobs across 700+ businesses and Higher Education Institutions, Scotland’s life sciences sector is shaping the future of healthcare and medical innovation yet staying ahead in this fast-moving industry requires access to the right opportunities, funding, and regulatory expertise.

Attendees will also gain exclusive access to two high-profile panel discussions tackling the sector’s biggest challenges:
- Investor Readiness & Securing Funding
- Go beyond the basics—hear directly from investors about what they are looking for and how to make your business investment-ready.
- Regulatory Challenges in a Changing Landscape
